Actually I stumbled onto that one before I posted. I have a new goal in life to get to a level that Hacker News posts are just light reading for me.

For now, most of that is way above my pay grade but I loved the posts I understood ha

Heard the name before, had no idea what it was. Guess that Fatboy Slim Slash Dot song brainwashed me into thinking it was the only Slash Dot that matters ha

Appreciate it

I wanted to see alternatives to compare.

I guess you can consider branching out a distrust of what is known.

Would that mean you would trust mob mentality over the mentality of an individual as a rule then?

Tbh though, I’m not sure why you are being confrontational, I just was asking about alternatives for curiosity reasons. It’s nothing I’m really invested in, just wanted to explore.

Oh shit, Digg is still around and basically what I was curious about

Sadly, looks like the news/tech topics are pretty dead user wise, but maybe I just need to explore it better to understand.

Appreciate it, curious if the post selection is better or worse than the popular forums.

You brought in trust, I didn’t.

I just don’t think purely population based curation is coming up with the best content selection. I wanted to see alternatives.

I guess kind of.

But the idea would still be an aggregation of different sources, but mainly curated by a select few, rather than the full population. Users would still influence post order and all that.

Ohwell, I didn’t think it’d exist, or be well known if it does, but was just posting to see if anyone here knew of anything.

Those COVID lockups caused a population boom that the Boomers can’t even fathom

Tbh 21.6% of Americans being bilingual is way better than I would have guessed. It makes sense that Europeans speak more languages. If each of our states spoke different languages rather than English being a national language, I’d imagine our numbers would be a lot higher.

While we don’t have nearly as cool old architecture like other continents, buildings/houses from the 70s are all over. I think most historic buildings tend to be closer to 100+ years old, which is almost half the age of the country.

“almost always” is a bit different
